Take That Micro$oft Windoze!

Wictory! I has win at data recovery (mostly), despite the O/S crashing twice during the recovery process.

There were a few photos that were too damaged to save, and a few others that vanish out-right, but I saved about 90% of them and found about the same percentage in my lost writing work.

I feel so much better.

Right now the data is sitting on my thunb drive and the harddrive of the desktop. Tonight I will burn it all to a CD or three.

the missing sets went into a folder on the desktop of the guest login

I wonder if they can still be found there, Michael?

if he's already formatted it, probably not. :-( should have mentioned that right off the bat I guess.

He didn't have time last night; maybe today.

Either way, it's exciting and impressive that he recovered what he did. Yay!

I was planning to take at least one more stab at rooting out some files before SSB takes it back. I'll probably work on it tonight while I talk to my mum on the phone.

HAH! Who is made of win? I is made of win!

I found the rest of the photos and my two lost .rtf files hiding under a "recent" cluster header.

Everything is saved!

I is made of win!
